What is a GMO?

When something is referred to as a GMO that means it is a genetically modified organism. This results from altering the genes of a species. Whether it is taking the genes of one species and inserting it into another one to introduce a new trait or characteristic or by removing a gene in an attempt to eliminate a specific trait or characteristic, this means that the organism has been genetically modified and must now be referred to as a GMO. What this means for you and your family is that many of the foods you buy or the ingredients used in them were not naturally grown but created so that the crops can yield a higher, more efficient product.

Many of the modifications made in various crops include making them able to withstand certain herbicides such as Roundup (also known as Roundup Ready crops) and some crops being designed to be able to produce their own pesticide or insecticide. As a result of the use of the weed killer Roundup, these Roundup Ready crops have shown residues of a synthetic compound called Glyphosate that CANNOT be washed off as the compound has become actively integrated directly into the each cell of the plant!
